What happened to BALDUR'S GATE: THE ORIGINAL SAGA, I can't seem to find the page to buy it.
Did GOG remove this game?

It has been (shockingly) bundled with the (inferior) enhanced editions. You can no longer buy the classic versions separately at GOG.
I see, thanks.

You 're welcome. Courtesy of Beamdog. You now pay double price to buy the game and you have to take in their Enhanced Garbage Edition, as well. Because their own games sold like sh*t, they decided to freeload on the reputation of the originals themselves (so they can strike it rich effortlessly AND do some economic damage control from the boycott of their sh*tty expansion/dlc), which had been among GOG's most top-selling games, too (original sagas obviously).

Arguably the most slimey move in video game history. Forcing people who want to buy one game, to also buy their game.
But the old version is still included. That's at least something, because I would definitely NOT recommend the game, if it only contained the enhanced version.


Edited: Is it pointed out somewhere? If not, then please ad a note that the old versions are included.

There's a line that says "About: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition includes the classic Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga."
It's slightly confusing, you could easily interpret that to mean that the EE includes both vanilla BG and Tales of the Sword Coast. In fact... I came to this forum to find out if the classic versions were included as some sort of forced bundle. Seems like that's the case.

Worse than that. They are LGBT members AND social justice warriors... They purchased the rights to Baldur's Gate with their gaydollars and then started producing those enhanced editions. As if one of the two wasn't enough already and a handful on its own accord. Just check about the entire "Siege of Dragonspear" huge discussion, from the Mizhena and Gamersgate/Minsc meme (Minsc was reduced to a walking meme spouting idiotic and completely IRRELEVANT to the Forgotten Realms things), to the sorry state game is with its endless bugs, issues and gamebreaking problems. Then check the profile of Amber Scott, the failed D&D campaign writer that got nasty rep years ago, she is the person Beamdog hired to RUIN baldur's gate for us, while audaciously claiming "she fixed it", "BG original suffered from MISOGYNY" and "people are idiots for not appreciating hard work". Heck, just seeing her twitter picture only, you will understand.

"ALIENS" happened to our beloved, Baldur's Gate series, not children or clowns, alas! May it rest in peace...

P.S. They even censored negative reviews in Steam and citing of criticism, which isn't their own property, as well in their own forums. They even had steam to recently change their reviewing system's policies/features/details, days after their sh*tty new DLC was panned (Beamdog's) and entire threads discussing their "marvels", were moved in other forum places, so as to hide from plain view. Their most epic moment, however, was PUBLICLY BEGGING for positive reviews and trying to appeal to fellow LGBT and SJWs, in order for the latter to give them some positive feedback, out of the blue. After all this commotion, they came up with this d*ckmove. They are going to earn a pretty penny, as i gather, many people want the originals, even to this day... Even though i found a legal way to "cheat" them and get the originals for free, people here attacked me, though. If you want a PM on how to do that, let me know. Cheers.

I don't have any issues with alt.sex orientations, but forcing people to buy their "enhanced" editions tells me that their conception of "social justice" is both narrow and shallow.

Neither do i (have any issues). Unless they destroy a classic series and attack the fans, instead of apologizing.

Beamdog is a great example of "Liberal intolerance". They feel they need to fix the world and if you don't like their fixes then "screw you".

Liberalism used to be something worth defending. Sadly, that has long since ceased to be the case.

Why else would anyone buy their games?
Finally just buy their game for classic edition ... with solds, BG, BG2 and Icewindale for only 15€ .. it's a good deal i think, but also think it's not good for the future of gog if this thing can arrive more time with others games (like planetscape torment, neverwinter nights, etc) .
Many remastered game are excellent (like homeworld), but client's gog must have the choice between remastered and the original cause it's the real force of gog.
